lyrics

Bring down the sky
The laws and the creed
Tampered since the beginning for a ruling minority
Leaving us with only the illusion of
Influence
They tell us we matter
They feed us the scraps in exchange for civility
Breeding contempt for those who
Dare to oppose
From your gilded cages
You've blinded yourselves to the suffering of the oppressed
Ignore and ridicule the horded
Calls of rebellion
It's too late for peace
When the cries of reform are easily silenced
The only outcome is war

The life of the world rests in the hands of one
A man of gold; a petulant product of greed and power
Culling the hateful masses from their fringed, shadowed corners
Merely a product of confused and divided masses

A singular power to fight against
Such a blissful fantasy
Easy to imagine the Great Antagonist as one
Ignoring ambivalence of systematic chaos

It's reckless and short-sighted; It's blind to what it tramples
Just as unaware of its own actions as of ours
All we can do is wait for its self defeating nature
To devour itself hoping to be spared from the fallout
And when it crumbles, weakened and exposed
The survivors and the oppressed will stomp out the final fires
Start again, fighting through a new age of darkness
Desperately hoping not to breed the same deadly mistakes

Let them eat the ground from under their feet
Let them see themselves for what they really are
Let it curb its hunger by devouring its own limbs
Let it fall; Let it die; Let it crumble; Let it burn
